Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from the County of Stolberg-Stolberg, minted between 1621 and 1622, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the county, the coin bears an image of a wild boar, which was a common motif in the region's heraldry. This design choice was likely made to symbolize the county's strength and resilience, as the wild boar was seen as a powerful and formidable animal.
